What do increased levels of D do for diabetics, I wonder. Alleviate the severity — or no changes once diabetes has set in?

There are many questions left to be answered. Do people who are susceptible to diabetes also have difficulty in either absorbing or maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D? Does supplementing with D actually do anything to help combat diabetes? Is it even possible to raise a diabetic’s D level to the “normal” range?

Just because the 2 conditions coexist, does not mean that attempting to increase the level of vitamin D will necessarily do anything meaningful to prevent the complications of diabetes.
